Jone Kroh Reports To Group on Girls' State Last Tuesday evening the South Shore Country Club was the scene of the dinner meeting of The Business and Professional Women's Club. Miss Jane Kroh and Mrs. W. E. Long were the principal speakers. Miss Marilyn Hursey was a guest of Miss Kroh. Miss Kroh spoke on her week at Girl's State, sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary. She told of citizenship and government functioning being learned there by movies of Senate and House meetings in actual sessions, nominations, campaigning for office, election and inauguration. Governor Craig escorted the girl who won the election of governor. Jane "painted” a clear word picture of the scenes, the girls in formals, and all things done exactly as in real political life. She showed a scrap book with pictures and the clippings of Girl’s State political results. Jane also cited humorous happenings. One was when ‘Fire’ was yelled. Suddenly a lady fainted — coroner, police and sheriff were called; she was put to bed. Then the fainting “chief” remembered 'she' had to have the 'fire' put out' Mrs. Leonard Nichols of the Auxiliary explained to the club how a delegate to Girl’s State is picked. She said that principals of all schools choose five top girls, capable scholastically and personally, with an ability to get along with others, and character. The American Legion auxiliary, the sponsor, then votes for a delegate. Mrs. Long, who was the first president of the Syracuse BPW. told of the start of the club in 19377 it’s early struggles to make money and r its achievements. She also listed the civic causes receiving money donated by the club. Mrs. Long felt it a compliment to be asked to assist in the compiling of a club history. She added that their early struggles enabled them to grow in understanding, learning of others' needs and trying to supply those needs in ways which really help. Mrs. Long felt that club members are brought closer together in striving to be of service to the club itself and to the community. Mrs. Ernest Bushong is chairman of the history committee, with Mrs. Long and Miss Phyllis Mock. The hostesses, Mrs. Blanche Mason. Mrs Ernest Bushong. Mrs. Charlotte McSweeney and Miss Elisabeth Pollock had tables arranged attractively with fall flowers. The door prize was won by Mi's. Ardis Larson. She was asked byMrs. Mason to draw for winner, and much good-natured ‘ribbing’ ensued over "the very odd coincidence of picking your own number." The large green glass vase was “well worth the conniving,” the winner declared. Mrs, Frank Bates, president, presided over the business meeting. Mrs. Jerry Herbison reported on the latest .BPW gift to the community. a teeter totter and a double Jungle Gym with climbing bars. They were installed in the Syracuse Lake city park by Officer Jim Gilbert and his men. The club is looking forward to the next meeting when Mrs. Bates’ brother. Mr. E. A. Williams of Elkhart. who made the church window of jade in a Chicago church. He was commissioned by J. L. Kraft < founder of the Kraft Cheese Co > to do this memorial some time ago.

HEWS By Rath R. Snellenberger Dear 4-H Members and Friends: Continuing information about the County 4-H Council, I should like first to outline duties as set up in the constitution. The membership of the Kosciusko County 4-H Council and its duly appointed sub-committees are charged with the following duties: 1. "To establish rules, regulations, and policies governing 4-H club work in Kosciusko County.” It was in keeping with this duty that a 4-H Policy committee was appointed this year and has met recently to review existing policies and to recommend new or revised ones. 2. “To cooperate with adult 4-H club leaders in carrying out county wide 4-H program by assisting." More will be said later about how assistance can be given. 3. “TO guide the members of the extension staff in carrying out he county 4-H program.” Vital assistance is given through recognizing immediate needs of club members so that educational help from he extension office can be well directed. 4. “To prepare budgets for expenditure of the county 4-H approbation and secure funds budgeted.” A budget committee plans this with members of the extension staff. 5. “To approve amount and number of county 4-H premiums to be paid.” 6. “To select award and achievement winners." A 4-H award committee serves to carry out this obligation. 7. “To consider all awards offered for 4-H work.” A good example of function in this case can be illustrated by relating that the proposition for the 4-H Achievement record contest was presented and approved by members attending a Council meeting last March. The committees. mentioned above, are appointed by the president as in any other organization. As for duties of the local 4-H advisory committees, nothing speckle was outlined. From reports of 4-H home economics adult leaders. I can list several ways in which some committees have functioned either as a group or individually. Among these are those who serve as judges for a local demonstration contest: invite club members to prepare project requirements in their homes (One leader told me a little girl said her faimly did not care for muffins, so an advisory committee member invited the girl to bake muffins for her family); provide transportation to and from club meetings apd for county events; give instruction to specific project members; help check record books to learn if member was getting her work done; collect exhibits to take to the county fair; help supervise bake sales as a moneymaking activity of the club; visit homes of new members so that the mother as well as the new member might better understand 4-H club work; serve as a cabin mother at 4-H club camp. Are there others which I've omitted? Are there some helpful suggestions to some committee members who have wondered whajt they should do? These are ways to give assistance to adult leaders. Sure hope the information about the 4-H Council has been helpful. Hope too, that all community areas are representd at the September 29 meeting. HOMEMAKIN6 AWARDS Mrs. Virginia Vance, home economics teacher, has announced that a scholarship test, sponsored by Betty Crocker, will be given to all Senior girls interested in homemaking. The test will be given in January. The contest is to be nationwide. with a national grandwinner, state winners, and awards to be given the two girls making the highest scores from each school entered.

How Much Is the Drug Worth? You may have been charged $5 or $lO for a small bottle of capsules. Perhaps you think it was an outrageous price to pay for the drug. Then it may be that you are unaware of certain important facts. The medicine has proved to be marvelous in the treatment of pneumonia or other diseases which less than ten years ago were often killers. The small bottle of capsules may prevent a serious surgical operation or confinement in a hospital for a long time or it may even save your life. The chances are that it cost more than a million dollars to make the drug available. Are $5 or $lO too high a price for a medicine that performs miracles? You have the answer.
